Abstract
Summarising can be said, that a patient in receives a qualitative and quantitative similar
treatment in the four compared countries. All osteopaths work alike according to the different
techniques. Also the osteopaths, who have studied in Italy, Belgium or the Netherlands, work
as the osteopaths, who have studied in one of the four countries analysed in this survey. There
are at the moment no opposite developing directions of osteopathy in the European countries.
In this study couldn't be differentiated between medical and non-medical osteopaths, as there
didn't take any practitioners part. It is to hope, that there won't be a complete political
division in Europe as Gevitz described it in the USA, where 50% of all DOs are practitioners
and only 5% of them work with their hands.
The important differences refer to political aspects, the prices of treatment and the interval of
treatment of chronic patients, as it has been described.
As all three osteopathic federations are part of the European federation, where some members
are already accepted in their country, it can be hoped, that a common interior national but also
a common international political and social action can bring the osteopathic profession in the
four analysed countries a similar adequate status.
(J.P Hamerlinck, V. Duret)
This thesis should help the osteopathic profession to become more clearly to the public. It
should also give medical professions an understanding.
Maybe this thesis can help the osteopathic federations, the lawgivers and the osteopathic
schools to make the osteopathic profession more present and to create legal basis.
